The most famous public gardens of Malta, San Anton Gardens, were laid out by Grand Master Antoine de Paule as grounds for his summer residence, San Anton Palace. Successive Grand Masters enhanced and embellished the gardens, which have been open to the public since 1882. San Anton gardens are an environmental gem with graceful walkways, sculptures, ornamental pools, families of ducks, swans, birds and tortoises, and a small aviary. The gardens are a botanical delight with large variety of trees and plants from around the world, including cypress, jacarandas, palm trees and exotic plants which some of them are over three hundred years old. Such is the splendor of San Anton Gardens, that nowadays events including the Malta Horticultural show, open-air theater, drama and musical performances are held there.

The picture shows a very big field full of bright flowers full of life and in this field there is possibly the biggest contrast that you could ever imagine, an enormous pile of rocks, nearly like a small hill. Surprisingly enough this used to be a quarry. Although filling up the quarry with uneccessary construction waste was a great sustainable effort, unfortunately it seems to have gone quite of hand since the construction waste has kept on accumulating forming the looming hill that can be seen at the back of the picture. While such sustainable efforts should be promoted, necessary care should also be given not to go overboard as shown above. This effects the not only the flora of the area but also the possible underlying water tables which can easily be contaminated if other types of waste are thrown in the area.

What a wonderful view of Marsaxlokk harbour. But wait…What’s that in the background? It is Delimara’s Power Station and it is ruining the view!! It is also polluting the air around it with the fumes the chimneys are omitting and it isn’t very healthy for people who live in the areas of Delimara either. It also has a very bad impact on the tourists which come to visit Marsaxlokk .And what about the impact on the environment, especially the fish in the sea and the birds? The fishermen are the most affected by this monster. If we become more aware of energy consumption and its consequences it will be easier for all of us to decrease our reliance on fossil fuels. We must all understand that every drop counts and that undoubtedly all our efforts do make a difference.

As you can see in the picture above there is natural spring water found in Landrijiet, limits of Rabat, which is contaminated by illegal dumping. It is a great pity that only a few people know about it. After a rainy day this spring has a lot more water than shown in the picture above. Maybe clear signs with adequate information should be placed in the vicinity not only to prohibit people from dumping unwanted items in the stream but also to explain the ecological importance of such freshwater streams. Fresh water habitats such as these can be home to various species such as the painted frog and the Maltese fresh water crab. Both species are becoming endangered so more awareness is required!

Waste production in the Maltese Islands is a major problem and several actions need to be taken in order to act for the future generations. Some waste components have economic value and can be recycled and correctly recovered. In the first two pictures we can see a discarded piece of furniture . If one calls the local council , they’ll send someone to collect it for free instead of throwing it away and damaging the environment! On the other hand , in the second two pictures we can see two pristine country views on the Maltese islands. It’s all depends on us basically!
